Activities at Mount Tryon Care Home

We had a lovely morning together at Mount Tryon doing Decoupage, which is the art of decorating an object by glueing paper cut-outs onto a surface and sealing it with layers of varnish or glue. 

We were all pleased with our wildlife clamshells and look forward to future projects.      

We celebrated an incredible milestone, Maureen's 100th Birthday!!

We extend a very special happy 100th birthday to Maureen, our wonderful resident. Along with a card from the King, our chef baked Maureen a delicious birthday cake! Maureen celebrated this special birthday with her daughter and friends. We were so happy to honour this truly remarkable occasion!      

We enjoyed a fantastic outing again. This time we ventured to what could be our new favourite place, The Orange Elephant Ice cream Parlour.

Our residents and team members enjoyed taking in the wonderful views, reminiscing and, of course, the delicious ice cream.

We plan to return a few more times.    

At Mount Tryon, we have had an exciting few days. We have had the amazing opportunity to hatch our own seven baby ducklings this week, which has been an amazing experience.

All seven ducklings have hatched and we are now enjoying cuddles. All are welcome to pop by and enjoy some cuddles too.

Today we remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the generation who endured the hardships of World War II and celebrated the long-awaited victory in Europe.

81 years ago, streets filled with cheering crowds, waving flags, music, dancing, and hope as the news spread that the war in Europe had finally come to an end.

Today we commemorated in style. We adorned the home with flags, enjoyed a wonderful lunch together with port a plenty! We enjoyed a wonderful musical performance and an afternoon tea in style! There was lots of music, dancing, laughter and joy! Thank you to all that joined us. 

Here at Mount Tryon our Gents, every time we host our Gentleman's Club, our gentlemen always have a terrific afternoon. 

This week, they created some models together and enjoyed a well-earned beer.   

Creativity was in full bloom here at Mount Tryon as we enjoyed a wonderful flower arranging afternoon, from choosing our flowers to creating them into beautiful colourful arrangements around our home.         

To mark the commencement of Royal Ascot, we took our very own trip to the races!

The afternoon began with a delicious afternoon tea served with glasses of Prosecco. We watched the races and shared stories. There was plenty of laughter, and cheering as the races unfolded. You can get your bottom dollar. We had a great afternoon!

Residents and staff were delighted to welcome therapy ponies to Mount Tryon this week for a heart-warming visit.
There were smiles the moment they walked through our front door. For many, seeing a pony indoors was a truly special experience and one they will cherish.

Throughout the visit, residents enjoyed spending time with the gorgeous ponies, stroking them and chatting about the memories that had been brought back. Some reminisced fondly about horses they had owned in the past, while others shared stories of the days when they used to go horse riding.

Animal therapy can have such a positive impact on the residents’ wellbeing. Visits like this can help reduce feelings of loneliness and anxiety, encourage conversation, and spark happy memories. We are already looking forward to welcoming them back so they can visit even more of our residents and continue spreading happiness throughout our home.   

Our residents had a fantastic time celebrating in true British style. There were wonderful stories, plenty of singing and lots of laughter filling the room. From cheering along to dancing, everyone got into the spirit and had an absolute blast when Paul from Just Sing performed for us!

Deputy Chef Jo then prepared a gorgeous lamb roast for everyone to enjoy with lots of extra festive treats.

A full day of warmth, laughter, happiness and true British spirit, an amazing celebration, just the way we like it.       

This International Youth Day, we celebrate the impact that young people continue to make in their schools, workplaces, and communities. Through their actions today, they are helping shape a better future for all.

Our residents and staff had a fun-filled afternoon here at Mount Tryon when we had local youths visit us for the afternoon.     

We were very lucky to have James from We Clothe For You pop-up shop visit us at Mount Tryon yesterday. They brought along some really lovely clothes and accessories. Our residents really enjoyed having a little nosey through them all and choosing a few new summer items. It was such a nice visit, and we look forward to welcoming him back in the future.

Thank you so much for bringing.

Today we celebrated National Beer Day with a special "Beers Around the World" experience. Residents enjoyed sampling a selection of beers, paired with some delicious snacks.

The activity sparked plenty of conversation, with residents sharing memories of travels, favourite drinks, and experiences. 
It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the opportunity to try something different while socialising with friends.

The afternoon was filled with laughter, reminiscence, and a taste of culture, making it a fun and engaging celebration for all involved.    

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of cocktails and jazz music. We had delicious cocktails made by Head Chef Sue and our Hostess Amy. Residents enjoyed Pimm’s, Bellinis, Horses Necks and Mimosas whilst enjoying Jazz Music with friends. 

A lovely afternoon had by all.      

Every month, Mount Tryon will host a themed day. This month, we had a taste of India Day. 

Sue Foreshaw, our head chef, prepared a real Indian meal that everyone loved, and then two of our carers performed an Indian dance for us. It was a wonderful day full of colour, joy and happiness.
